Tommy Joseph went 3-for-4 with a double on Wednesday and is 6-for-13 with three extra-base hits this spring.

Joseph, part of last year's Hunter Pence deal with the Giants, isn't considered a candidate to fill in for Carlos Ruiz early on this season. He will be an intriguing internal option to step in should Ruiz leave as a free agent next winter. Mar 6 - 4:29 PM

Tommy Joseph - C - Phillies

Phillies acquired C Tommy Joseph, OF Nate Schierholtz and RHP Seth Rosin from the Giants for OF Hunter Pence and cash considerations.

Joseph, a second-round pick from 2009, has a .256/.307/.427 batting line over parts of three seasons in the minors. He packs plenty of pop (46 homers over his first 324 pro games) and continues to make strides behind the plate, throwing out 48 percent of attempted basestealers with Double-A Richmond this year. The 21-year-old could be the heir apparent to Carlos Ruiz, who turns 34 in January and is due to become a free agent following the 2013 campaign.

Tommy Joseph - C - Phillies

Tommy Joseph is headed to the Phillies as part of the Hunter Pence deal, according to CBS Sports' Danny Knobler.

The Double-A catcher played in the Futures Game and just turned 21. Pegged as San Francisco's fifth-best prospect by MLB.com, Joseph hit .260/.313/.391 at Richmond prior to the proposed deal. He was the Giants' second-round pick in 2009.

C	1	Carlos Ruiz D.L. Phillies placed C Carlos Ruiz on the 15-day disabled list, retroactive to May 20, with a right hamstring strain. Ruiz was diagnosed with a Grade 2 strain of his hamstring and is expected to miss 3-4 weeks. It's a tough blow for the Phillies, who just got Ruiz back from his suspension less than one month ago. Erik Kratz and Humberto Quintero will fill in behind the plate once again. May 21
